I’m not sure if it’s a well known idea or just something I’ve learnt over the years but I have started to believe that to truly know someone you need to go on holiday with them.
Simply put, there are five types of people on holiday:
1) The Fashionista
This is the person who doesn’t care if you’re in New York or the amazon jungle they will buy new clothes and style their hair every day of the trip. This person is usually the first person to stake their claim on a space and refuse to share it. They’ll probably do the least amount of work and demand all the recognition.
2) The Gamer
This person is only on holiday because they were bullied into it. Their luggage has the barest minimum with regards to clothes but is filled to capacity with portable gaming consoles and chargers. They’ll probably say a total of three words the whole trip.
3) The dishwasher
This is the person who seems to be cleaning from day one. They’re allergic to dust. Not in the literal sense but rather in the “I’m going to scrub then rescrub every surface” sense.
4) The Martini Sipper
Always at the pool sipping some exotic drink while scoping out possible flings. They know everyone in the hotel and just enough about everyone to gossip about them.
5) The One Time Wonder
This is the person who wants to try everything at least once. They’re up for climbing a mountain, wrestling a bear and even a twelve hour shopping spree. This is the person everyone wants to be on holiday with but also the rarest type of holiday maker.
These are just some of the people I’ve come across. I’m pretty sure there are more types and as the years pass and my holiday companions change I may have to add on to the list.
Until then I’ll be sipping a drink at the pool or climbing a mountain…
I haven’t quite decided yet.
